    “

    The community of Playwrights Foundation Bay Area literary council readers advanced TO RED TENDONS as a finalist for the 47th Bay Area Playwrights Festival.

    We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in its journey towards production.
